Transparency time:

November 13th I started publishing a daily atomic essay.

Since then:

• Followers: 1710 → 3510 (+105%)
• Revenue: $0 → $10,240 (+∞%)

Not to mention:

• New ideas
• Friendships
• Opportunities
• Clearer thinking

And most importantly:

Momentum. ImageImage
For months I made noise and listened for signal, taking @jackbutcher’s advice.

Writing and publishing daily accelerated the noise-making.

By sharing an essay every day, I quickly found the ideas that resonated with me and with others.
This is why I say the following:

The highest leverage habit in human history is writing and publishing something every day.

There’s no better way to form a daily writing habit.

And if you want to see the essays:
And one more: this tweet from @naval inspired most if not all of this.

I wanted to start writing more consistently. But figured I should learn to sell and build in the process.

Advice I wish someone gave me to start 2020:

1. "Own your platform" is bad advice (in the beginning.)

I spent months writing a weekly newsletter and weekly blog post on my own website that nobody read.

Instead, leverage platform algorithms to distribute your ideas at scale.
I wrote ~25 blog posts on my website and received 15,000 page views.

But my tweets received 3.6 million impressions (in just the last four months)

This is like launching an online store but refusing to use @Shopify because you want to "own your platform."
2. Publishing daily > publishing weekly.

Algorithms reward prolific production.

In the beginning, you want to get as many ideas out there as possible.

Writing a weekly blog post won't cut it.

Writing seven atomic essays > writing one weekly blog post.

The highest leverage habit in human history:

Writing on the internet.

For most of this year, I've had hundreds of ideas that were too short for blog posts but too long for tweets.

The solution: atomic essays.

One idea. One screenshot. One per day.

Thread...
In this thread, I will share one atomic essay every day for a long time.

The overarching theme of my essays: growth.

I'm fascinated with the improvement of people, businesses, and systems.

These essays will explore these principles and how you can use them.
These essays cover a wide surface area, but all through the lens of growth.

• Career
• Health
• Wealth
• Startups
• Productivity
• Relationships
• Decision-making

And many more that I'm sure will evolve over time.

"Writing is like running. It never gets easier, you just get better at it."

@level5leaders said this in his recent conversation with @tferriss

And I think it's a profound idea that deserves some exploring.

Thread...
1/ Starting out

When you start running, say you can run a 10-minute mile.

Six months later, you can run an eight-minute mile.

Running an eight-minute mile feels just as hard as your initial 10-minute mile.

BUT, running a 10-minute mile now feels much easier.
2/ It never gets easier

No matter your experience as a runner, running your fastest will be painful.

But this is how you make progress: continuing to push the edge of difficulty.

If you only try to run 10-minute miles, you'll never improve.

The same goes for writing.
